How to Ace your Ortho Residency Interview

About this video

The shortest interview in this set defines orthopedics in about a minute. Flanary’s program director and applicant trade rapid questions covering favorite bones, physical strength, hatred of documentation, and the specialty’s classic consult greeting demanding to know why antibiotics were not already started. The sketch satirizes ortho’s reputation for valuing lifting ability and operating over paperwork, and for letting medicine manage post-operative patients, closing appropriately with an arm-wrestling challenge instead of a handshake.

Key takeaways

• Flanary portrays ortho selection as valuing strength over documentation
• Post-operative patients are happily handed to medicine in the sketch
• His list of hazards includes trampolines, ladders, and fitness trends
• The interview ends in an arm-wrestling match
